Nooks and Crannies

This hack extends the previous one by partitioning each room into different areas which you can then assign information to. For instance, if each room is the title of a comedy of Shakespeare, you can assign the left-wall to the protagonist, the floor to the number of acts or scenes, and so on. The book gives 11 distinct areas within a room that you can use for assigning information to, but for some rooms (like bathrooms) there are automatically other distinguishable objects that can be associated with information.

So this type of memorization seems good for data that forms some kind of hierarchy. Starting up student teaching in a few days, I think this can be a very useful concept for lesson and unit planning.
